CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: FOLLOW THE SPIDERS
THE QUIDDITCH MATCH HAD BEEN CANCELED, MUCH TO ATLAS disappointment. He really wanted to go against Slytherin, and his father were to be there for him and Lily, this had been the first couple of times he went against Slytherin. As he made his way up to Hufflepuff Tower, which was near the kitchens, when Professor McGonagall approached him with Ron, Harry, Lily, and Adrian.
"Mr. Lupin", McGonagall said to her. "I need you to come with me. There is something that you, Mr. Potter, Miss Lupin, Mr. Malfoy, and Mr. Weasley need to see".
"Hey, what's going on?" Atlas asked the group as Lily shrugged.
"It's probably another attack", Harry assumed as Ron nodded in agreement.
"We don't know, but I figure if she's rushing us to the hospital wing, it's probably because someone's had too much of Madam Pomfrey's Skele-Gro Potion", Lily joked, trying to keep things on the bright side.
Ron snorted as Harry, Atlas, and Adrian laughed, making Lily smiled. She loves seeing people smile and laugh, it brought up her day, she never like seeing people sad or not laughing, but it's everything in her power to make them smile or laugh even.
But that soon faded away, once they walked with Professor McGonagall to the hospital wing. Hermione was laid on the hospital bed, petrified, Lily froze once she saw Hermione, her smile faded slowly.
As Ron gasped "Hermione".
"Hermione..." Harry and Atlas rushed towards Hermione, Atlas felt rage boiled inside him, remembering what Draco had said.
Lily remained still, her tears filled her eyes, but she didn't let them fall. She didn't want her friends seeing her like this, but then again, she was aloud to cry right? Lily never let her friends see her sad or anything, so, she always put on a fake smile sometimes, and act the same like she always did. But, it was hard right now not to be upset, Lily sees the girl she likes on the bed petrified, not able to move, she could tell Hermione looks terrified. Anger began to fill inside of her, she also had remembered what Draco has said.
Lily walked over to Hermione, staring at her, as her brothers and McGonagall stared at Lily worriedly. While Lily held Hermione's hand tightly, a tear slowly falling from her eye. Adrian quickly hug her, which Lily returned.
"They were found near the library...along with this", McGonagall shortly explained as she pick up a small mirror that lay beside Hermione on the nightstand. "Does it mean anything to any of you?"
